New RHOBH promo looks... interesting. There's real-life drama to be had in Kyle/Mo and Dorit/PK, while the rest is fun fluff. 

I always feel kinda bad for the newbies whenever Housewives/M2M do those "sisterhood bonded for life" schmaltz because most of the time, the newbie is a one-and-done and never thought of again (I don't think an Anne-Marie or Joyce or Carlton or Diana are ever thought of by this group once they're gone from the show). 

Meanwhile the official "friends of" are Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly, whom I love. I'm wondering if Jennifer will be the Greek chorus of the group, pointing out the ridiculousness of it all. 

Yeah, she keeps withering away...

'Don't you dare! Don't you dare.' That's right, Mary!!! GO, MARY, GO!!! GET HER ASS!!! LOL!!!

 

Where do I even begin with this episode? lol. It was really good. Like the show itself, the episode started slow. As in slow burn. We saw housewives' lives that I couldn't care less about...lol. And then we started to see housewives' lives that we actually care about. We got little bombs. And then those bombs really exploded at a Housewife's event....an tongue-in-cheek Greek Mafia party. And that was just CRAZY. And just when you thought it could not get crazier with showdowns...it just got even MORE crazy.

 

Heather has gotten insufferable. That weight loss and getting hype due to what happened to Monica has gone to her head. And I was happy to see that Bob and Mary comparing notes. I was excited to see that Heather has taken Little Girl's place on Mary's Drag List, and drag Mary did cuz NO ONE is cursing at her. Too big for her breeches Heather must have gotten. And then her attempt to gaslight Bob and Angie K failed and even The FOH got a dig in on her. Nice try, Wannabe. 

 

Outside of the comedy of FriendOfHeather, the main draw was the continued drama with Little Girl vs Lisa. And while I wished Little Girl had stood up to her harder a la the First Episode this season, I guess it doesn't matter. Why? Because Lisa had a full-on meltdown, threatening Little Girl with being sued on screen (are Housewives even allowed to do that anymore?). And the drama increased involving the Husbands coming to blows? Wait WHAT???

 

And a To Be Continued...with no promo for next week...Yeeees a great episode.

 

MEREDITH. Outside of getting an apology from Little Girl and being background at Angie K's Mafia event...she was surprisingly mute.

 

HEATHER. GIRL, BYE!!! The level of gaslighting she tried to do not one, not two, but THREE times. Guuuuurl, your slip is showing hardcore. And like one Tamra Judge circa OC S9, when called out by everyone, Heather turned tail and ran. If she WAS Jen, at least Jen would have given us a show. Again...nice try, Wannabe. 

 

ANGIE K. Oooooo her giving wealth with this party. She also gave a LOT of ATTRACTIVE MEN at her event.

 And the fact that right after Mary dragged Heather, she came up to Heather with the quickness to go in, too?? She was in her bag this episode. And an awwww moment with her dad. Did I mention her husband is FOINE?? hehe.

 

LITTLE GIRL. OMG!!!! Just when I thought she was the messy one, her husband is just as messy cuz what was the reason he invited Jared to that Mafia party when he knew FriendOfHeather was there with a date? Hilarious! Meanwhile, Little Girl appeared to be getting to the truth of who was spreading the rumors. And Meredith got an apology. Still...I hope Little Girl does not back down from Lisa.

 

BOB. 'Can I say bullshit in your house? I know this is a House of God.' BOOOOBBBBBBB!!! lol. But I continued to love Bob/Mary together. And the fact they revealed that they have similar family backgrounds to each other was such a real moment. Meanwhile, I loved Bob gathering Heather with Angie K as a good assist. Sent Heather running to the hills.

 

MARY. Like I said...she's a kiki. And someone needs to keep Heather honest, and Mary is nothing, but herself with no BS. It says a lot that she can drag Heather. And then when Lisa vs Little Girl exploded, she was chatting with Heather again. And her scene with the kids after the dragging was hilarious. So was her getting FriendOfHeather's men mixed up. And to show up more real outside of her and Bob bonding, there was the scene of her with Robert Jr. I just feel so sad for her. How does she break through to her son? It's a subplot that I continue to feel invested in. 

 

LISA. GIRL, GONE!!!! If you want to bring in your security guy, the LA police, AND the local police...DO IT!!! Some saw it as her calling Little Girl's bluff. I saw her as bluffing. If I am wrong, I will be wrong, but I feel she did it. She was just tooooo upset and overdramatic over it. She could have just been...angry. *shrugs*

 

Great episode. Sorry that Bravo killed some of the thunder by going ahead and releasing the end of the husband fight.

Great writeup. Meredith seems to be over the show. She seems checked out this season. 

I think Mary's son is gay, and I hope her Jesus background isn't adding to his problems, because that could play a major factor in his depression. 

Continuing to like Bronwyn, though I keep forgetting her name, lol. And then there's the whole Bronwyn versus Braunwyn of OC so I have to try to remember how to spell her name. Maybe "Bob" is just easier, lol. 

The Britani (is that how you spell it?) soap opera love triangle was kinda funny this episode, though it's too bad there wasn't a slow build-up where we actually got to know her a bit first before the endless sobbing over the Osmond fella.  

 

ATL: 

Good grief, they're STILL filming? Is this going to end up being a hodge-podge of mess like when they shoehorned Jacqueline, Kathy, Rosie and the old gang into the ending episodes of RHONJ Season 6 with the Dunkin Donut Twins and Amber?

I cant believe Karen is going out the way she is. She is coming across completely unlikeable and reminding me of LVP in her last season. ZERO accountability. She is full o sht and has me siding with Gizelle, who is doing an amazing job of redeeming herself without Robyn. I cant believe im saying this but I like Gizelle and cant stand Karen

 

I think its obvious Mia is coming for Stacey bc she was trying to get Jassi that full time position but the producers went with Stacey for the flute. Mia is really feeling herself thsi season. She had what, like 5-7 friends, when you count the actual cast members. She legit was trying to recast the show around herself. 

I like Stacey and how she refuses to let these ladies play in her face. She checked Ashley last week and she neutralized Mia's attempt at hazing her. Im enjoying the energy and what she brings to the table

 

I liked Jacqueline in the past but she's a flop this season. She has no identity outside of being Mia's minion. The crumbling and crying when Karen checked her was giving Candiace energy

I felt the left-in scene was Production showing foreshadowing for what's to come with the first episode of this new season's very first scene-Ubah vs Brynn, because it's becoming clear that Brynn is trying to make the show pop...not unlike a certain Ex Soap Opera Star used to do on BH...until she went too far. Ubah has been clear (not to her face, but to some of the other girls and her Confessionals) that she does not like how Brynn has been acting and manipulating things...which that scene with Rebecca shows her doing. So eventually, when Brynn is called out later on, we the audience already have the information. I bet Production will even show a rollback to back it up. I still like Brynn myself, but she is definitely dancing that line that Lisa (formerly Fabulous Ice) has danced the last two seasons of SLC and we know how I feel about Lisa now when I was one of her first fans when SLC started. 

 

Side-note...so it seems that allegedly SLC might be cutting out (or heavily editing) the Lisa vs Mary over the kids scene that has been rumored to happen later in the season. So explosive was the confrontation that it does affect the rest of the season so those Production would be scrambling for content. Personally, I suspect given how Lisa is coming across this season so far, Production is playing Favorites...but they also know Mary IS the favorite with the audience as well. So...a whole mess. But I digress.

 

I feel so much for your mother hearing that. I'm happy that I grew out of that with people in my workplaces. Love really does transform a person. And one thing that makes me angry sometimes is people being impatient with someone who does speak a different language and English is not their first language. I encounter so many people trying to talk to me and my quirky bubbly Gemini makes me a fast talker so I try my best to slow down and listen. People be so shy or nervous about their accents, and I let them know they sound just fine. I even have a returned guest at my job who came back because I talked to her as best I could and we were trying to find the local Koreatown and Chinatown here in San Diego. I'm looking forward to the next time I work to see if she was able to find this DVD video she was interested in since there are not a lot of DVD stores around anymore. And yes, someone who can master more than one language is most definitely not an idiot. Mad respect.

 

That said...I believe Brynn did say that she spoke another language...or two...herself. I just can't remember if it was in the show or during one of the videos showing off her apartments. But if anyone would understand Ubah, I would say it would be her. So I can't believe how much she's coming for her. And I'm hoping come tomorrow, she does not continue in that vein, or this whole conflict is a little bit of both parties at fault versus it being one person's fault. But...time will tell. And yeah...nothing will get me to step out of character now than someone yelling at me. It's like calling Cordelia Chase a bitca. It's an uh oh now. lol. 

 

I'm really liking the Hampton episodes for sure. Yes!!! They come across as friends, not hating each other. And I've been enjoying all the dynamics and shifts. I mean...usually we would for sure get Erin and Sai. Jenna and Brynn. Jessel being Jessel. But there's been a nice mix going on. I'm still mentally giggling about Sai, Ubah, and Jessel at the grocery store.

 

And I'm happy to see that they are advertising here about the CLUELESS party this past weekend. Cuz so many people still love that movie. And will the references. I can't wait to catch them myself. And we know I'm living for Sai looking like Dionne. hehe.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.  
    • Omg I was so annoyed. Like girl calm down. Coming on way too strong. Omg I forgot about this

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
